Common Pygmies are sweet in temperament and palate. They spend a fair amount of time foraging for and scavenging food but have a particular fondness for sweet tasting treats, such as honey. When pickings are slim, they can hunt songbirds and small mammals. Common Pygmies stay in large groups, migrating alongside their food supply. Although capable of the same basic vocal sounds of most other dragons, Common Pygmies prefer to communicate through body language. It is perhaps no surprise, then, that Common Pygmy hatchlings are rather affectionate.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

Blessed with a silver tongue, Nematocera's words have all the power his little body lacks. Able to sooth the most raging tempers and convince the worst skeptics, he is no doubt influential. However, he is scared by this and his own lack of wisdom. As such, he turned to a sort of spiritualism for guidance, and acts as its preacher. While many do not agree with his views, Nematocera is still sought out for advice and kind words- even if is to just listen to his gentle voice. While some social climbers may ask for his assistance in pushing their agendas, Nematocera stays firm in his beliefs, and spends much of his time alone when not speaking to others, finding solace in listening to himself.
